Lens upgrade path (a6000)

I am looking for some advice on an upgrade path for my lens/camera body.

I currently own an a6000, Sony 50mm 1.8 and the Sony 16-50 kit lens.I would say I mostly use the kit lens unless I know I am taking some headshots.

I will be going on a trip soon and I am looking to pick up a new lens that could do something 50~100mm. I first was going to go with the kit 55-210 just because of the price/value but then I noticed the new 18-135 and realized it could even replace my 16-50.

Most of my pictures will be outside, during the day with good light(hopefully) of buildings, monuments, city stuff with some possible countryside pictures.

I have about $800 budget give or take.

I am very interested in Sigma lenses and I did buy the 60mm 2.8 previously, however, I shoot handheld a lot and no OSS kind of was a dealbreaker. I returned it and grabbed the Sony 50 1.8 and never looked back. With IBIS on the a6300/6500 bodies I was contemplating upgrading to that to let me use a lot of the non-sony lenses but doing that would probably cost about $500 to trade up leaving me with only $300 for lenses(although being a future investment for more lenses).

I would also be interested in something that works well in low light indoors but this is not a priority. I do not shoot video only stills.

I have my final gear set kind of decided I just don't know which path I should take to get to it.

1. Upgrade Body A6500(or 6300)2. Sony 18-1353. Good Prime somewhere in between 20-354. Wide lens for the 10-18 range, prime would be fine as well

The Nikon Z6 may not offer the incredible resolution of its sibling, the Z7, but its 24MP resolution is more than enough for most people, and the money saved can buy a lot of glass. Find out what's new and notable about the Z6 in our First Impressions Review.

Many cameras today include built-in image stabilization systems, but when it comes to video that's still no substitute for a proper camera stabilization rig. The Ronin-S aims to solve that problem for DSLR and mirrorless camera users, and we think DJI has delivered on that promise.

The SiOnyx Aurora is a compact camera designed to shoot stills and video in color under low light conditions, so we put it to the test under the northern lights and against a Nikon D5. It may not be a replacement for a DSLR, but it can complement one well for some uses.

At its core, the Scanza is an easy-to-use multi-format film scanner. It offers a quick and easy way to scan your film negatives and slides into JPEGs, but costs a lot more than similar products without a Kodak label.
